LETS GOOOO
Arizona reaching for players they think will be excited to play from them made it happen.
Big W.
I am hyped
Fucking steal at 13
Savoie’s linemate!!!!!!!! let’s fucking go boys
Let’s gooo
WHAT A STEAL. LFG BOYS!
WGR callers in wrap around shades having a meltdown over taking “aNoThEr sMalL fOrWaRd”
Ok my initials are also ZB.
LET’S GO
This kid has a wicked smile, I’m loving it
I suddenly care a lot less about Savoie having to probably stay another year in Juniors. Keep him and Benson connected at the hip until they come to the big league. I’m so pumped about this pick!
Seemed like such a forgone conclusion with the way d flew off the board
Is he good at hockey?
Wow I saw a lot of fans asking for this exact scenario. I doubted it would happen but very exciting that it did!
The dude has lettuce/60. His face screams child but that hair screams seasoned Louisiana bayou Crawfish hunter.
FINNA BUST A NUT TONIGHT
Can’t believe he was available.
Oh baby need a new pair of pants LFG
Can Benson play in the AHL or is he in the same category as Savoie?
[Zach Benson, picked 13th overall by Buffalo is far better prospect than teams usually get at that spot. His statistics belong inside the top 10. He has elite upside and a fairly high floor despite the size concerns because of his intelligence and playmaking](https://twitter.com/CMhockey66/status/1674215619242205184)
Draft the best player available. Well done!
Zach, get ready for an endless supply of chicken wings! Congrats! 😂🍗
This team keeps making smart decisions, it’s so great to see. Fantastic pick, he’ll be dishing assists to Kulich and Savoie for a decade
Love it and love that huge smile of his. He was happy, very happy.
Anyone who watched this kid this year knows he’s gonna be pretty special, maybe a higher ceiling than Savoie

Crazy value at 13. Wow, what a pick.
That’s scary
He mentions learning from our very own, Peyton Krebs when he was 15.

Didn’t know Theo Von played hockey.
My favorite part about this pick was Adams not kissing Vegas’ ass about winning the cup like all the other GM’s. He just walked to the mic and announced the pick with no hullabaloo. That’s my GM!
Hello expansion draft cousins. Love the pick. Was hoping the Canucks would take Benson or Willander. So it’s nice to see Buffalo snagged up Benson and the Canucks took Willander. Benson looks like an amazing pick, especially at 13. I wasn’t even expecting him to be around at 11.
